All technology in my house is going straight to hell. In fact, the only decent thing working is my iPod touch which I'm using to post this. I need a windows machine with a working CD drive and ethernet. The only computer that falls in that categorey is a dell inspirpn 1501 laptop. However, it has recently had a very distorted BSOD after the welcome screen, and reboots.
However, safe mode boots perfectly fine, so I need some advice on how to use it to fix it. I have norton anti-virus scanning, but I doubt that malware is the problem. I have very little programs that boot up on start, but there still could be something there. However, in the control panel, I get very few actual options, and windows defender is not in there. What else can I do to troubleshoot?
